2019 Map of Austin West

About this map

The Colorado River and its dramatic limestone bluffs anchor this map of western Austin and its affluent suburban hill country. The landscape is defined by the winding waters of Lake Austin and Lady Bird Lake, where the Lamar Boulevard Bridge connects the urban core to the natural springs and recreation areas south of the river. High points like Mt Bonnell and Mt Barker rise above the river valley, while the Jollyville Plateau dominates the northern reaches. This 2019 survey documents the modern footprint of communities like West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, and Lost Creek, showing a dense network of residential streets carved into the canyon topography. Local history is marked by several burial grounds, including the Austin Memorial Park Cem and the older McNeil Cem, alongside well-known hydrological features like Barton Springs and the Mount Bonnell Spring.
